[renekliment]

This project is now deprecated in favor of the new AlexaPi (https://github.com/alexa-pi/AlexaPi) which has all the features of this project and much more, such as:

• support for a wide range of devices and platforms (Raspberry Pi, CHIP, Orange Pi, desktops, Magic Mirror and others)
• voice activation (great PocketSphinx support and snowboy support soon to be released)
• much more robust installation and configuration
• better security
• Arch Linux support
• awesome documentation
• and much, much more! You get it - it's just awesome.

Please switch over to the new project and if your issue persists there, file an issue in the new repo's issue tracker. Thank you.
